HELP! PlexConnect will not start after OS X Mavericks upgrade

Dev Community Apps & Creations
1

Since I installed OS X Mavericks, PlexConnect refuses to start up...

Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I tried changing Settings.cfg port from 53 to 54, but ATV cannot connect to the internet.

Any idea this port is "already in use" now after updating the OS?

You cannot just change port numbers or it will not work (unless you plan to utilise your own DNS server and disable the PlexConnect one).
Did you install the server version of Mavericks?
Please read the wiki to find how to see what is using port 53.

3

I checked the wiki and nothing seems to apply here in the section about DNS Server in Troubleshooting.

I'm not using OS X Server, and I'm not running a DNS server (to my knowledge), and not at all sure why a DNS server would be running off Mavericks client version... 

4

Fixed the problem!:

In Activity Monitor I discovered a process called "mDNSResponder" running in the background.

Not sure where this came from as it just appeared after installing the new OS.

After killing this process, I just typed in the "sudo" command as per usual and all is working now!

:)

5

I"m having the same issue, but I am not going to randomly kill mDNSresponder as I know it's critical to Bonjour services (powering AirPlay, AirDrop, etc...)

I had PlexConnect running fine prior to my Mavericks update yesterday and was using the AppleScript to auto-start upon login.  The first symptom of trouble was after the upgrade the AppleTV had no internet access whatsoever - so I tried quitting and restarting PlexConnectApp (the AppleScript app) and it would not quit.  I had to force quit it.

I rebooted and the PlexConnectApp seem to come up fine, but still no internet access on AppleTV (local network worked fine).  Once again the PlexConnectApp would not quit normally and had to be force quit.

I did a fresh install of PlexConnect on my main boot disk in my otherwise empty "/Users/richard/" directory (something I was debating doing anyway...), dropped the backed up certificates back into the "/assets" directory and replaced the settings.cfg.

When trying to start the app manually using "sudo ./PlexConnect.py" I get the same error message as above:

12:19:59 PlexConnect: ***

12:19:59 PlexConnect: PlexConnect

12:19:59 PlexConnect: Shutting down.

12:19:59 PlexConnect: shutdown

I have rebooted a couple times (ensuring that the PlexConnectApp doesn't load), so there shouldn't be another instance of PlexConnect already starting.

I have also done a simple portscan of my iMac and don't see DNS services or any other service running on port 53.

Here are the other troubleshooting details:

Well, you still need to clear that port somehow.

For what it’s worth, I have Plexconnect working with Mavericks using the daemon_bash script and by the usual terminal sudo. There are issues with the AppleScript, as originally written, and Mavericks.

One final thing. You seem to be using a DNS service. Have you tried it without that?

7

I'm hoping for a clue on how to figure out WHAT is running on that port now...

I'm perplexed because a port scan doesn't show anything listening on port 53, so theoretically it should be available to start the socket.

I tried changing the ip_dnsmaster to googles 8.8.8.8 and no change, got the same error.

For fun I will try quiting the mDNSresponder, but I don't think that's a long term fix...

8

That wasn't useful, as expected - quiting mDNSresponder didn't make a change, especially since the mDNSresponder_helper fired it right back up again!

9

OK - a quick google search gave me a tip on finding out what's running on port "x"

Which looks to me like Python is running already and listening on 53 and I am running a couple of other Python based applications (Couch Potato, SickBeard, Sabnzbd) but none of them were running on 53 before, not sure why they would be now...

More digging

10

NOW I'm friggin perplexed...  There is something, based on Python, that is periodically firing up and using Port 53.  

I disabled Sabnzbd+, CouchPotato and SickBeard and kept checking 53, and it would pop up and clear, each time with different PID:

I have a new issue now... For some reason, I cannot access my "Movies" folder on through the ATV - it just spins its wheel, and eventually times out.  Comes up with a "Broken pipe" error.

The "TV Shows" folder works fine...

Any idea what the cause is?

Ricardo, I once had a rogue python process (it kept starting again whenever I stopped it) in conjunction with Plexconnect and I tied it to using the AppleScript. I would reboot the computer again and then ONLY use terminal to start up Plexconnect, avoid the AppleScript completely. Then see if the python process appears again.

13

Egads - It's getting goofier

Now it appears that something is also "hijacking" 443

Is it possible that some piece of PlexConnect got "sucked into" launchctl or the like while I was playing with the new daemon code last night trying to get this running again?

@Institute - our replies crossed.  

I would reboot the computer again and then ONLY use terminal to start up Plexconnect, avoid the AppleScript completely. Then see if the python process appears again. 

I'm already there and started with that before I posted.  The AppleScript has not been run since at least two reboots ago, since this morning I've only been using the Terminal command

I once had a rogue python process (it kept starting again whenever I stopped it) in conjunction with Plexconnect and I tied it to using the AppleScript.

But, that certainly sounds like my symptom - but it feels like the process is starting up again on it's own still even after I killed the AppleScript from the LogIn items.

15

Yeah my issue disappeared after rebooting and not not using the AppleScript. Maybe someone else will have some insight.

OSX: Enter the following (without the quotes) in the terminal “sudo lsof -i -P” and look to see in the output what is using your problem port.

You tried this for 53 but not 443 as far as I can see.

Thanks @institute11 and @f00b4r

I had done it for both 53 and 443 (see post 10) and I was using 53 as the "canary" to figure out what was happening.  

After watching the Activity Monitor / Network tab and searching for "python" I could see that there was a python service starting and stopping and incrementing the PID and just ongoing in an infinite loop.

Backing through what I had done over the months to try and get PlexConnect to autostart upon log-in (before finally landing on the AppleScript) I started looking in my ~/Library/LaunchAgents and found nothing.  On a whim I looked in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and found nothing either, but then I noticed the /Library/LaunchDaemons/ directory and sure enough there was a .plist in there for PlexConnect.

I deleted it and rebooted and now don't have any rogue python entities firing off in Activity Monitor / Network and both 53 and 443 are free and clear locally.

Now that THAT is solved I'm going to switch over to the AppleScript again and explore the new PlexConnect_daemon solution.

I have a new issue now... For some reason, I cannot access my "Movies" folder on through the ATV - it just spins its wheel, and eventually times out.  Comes up with a "Broken pipe" error.
The "TV Shows" folder works fine...
Any idea what the cause is?

Try changing to grid view as we may have a bug.

I created a tut for applescript and launchctl if you want to give it a try, you would have to edit it for the new plexconnect version etc but it should work if you want to check it out:

Nobody has mentioned there is an error message:“Plex Media Server.app” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

Is there an expected identificaion time?
